Last winter I stumbled upon a TV show that showed how they built these engines. One person builds the whole engine. It was pretty cool watching them build the amazing engines.

I wonder how much longer it takes a "customer" to build an engine than the "regular" engine builder. I am sure the professional engine builder is quite a bit faster. I realize they will be supervising/assisting, but I still bet it takes a lot longer.

I agree about the warranty. Maybe it actually reduces warranty expense -- Chevy can blame the customer for any engine problems! Actually, I am sure they will be well supervised & the engines will be tested before installation in the car.

I am anxious to see how popular this option is. Maybe we can get Porsche to offer a similar program.
